Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 5/6] selftests: mptcp: add splice io mode
Date: Fri, 30 Jan 2026 20:24:28 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260130-net-next-mptcp-splice-v2-5-31332ba70d7f@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260130-net-next-mptcp-splice-v2-0-31332ba70d7f@kernel.org>
From: Geliang Tang <tanggeliang@kylinos.cn>
This patch adds a new 'splice' io mode for mptcp_connect to test
the newly added read_sock() and splice_read() functions of MPTCP.
do_splice() efficiently transfers data directly between two file
descriptors (infd and outfd) without copying to userspace, using
Linux's splice() system call.
Usage:
./mptcp_connect.sh -m splice
